Default Preditor Modifications?

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the great input! My first preditor turned out great!

Was one heck of a handfull before getting the trim and throws set, but once it was dialed in, it was a dream. Just flies out of my hand like it knows what i want it to do.

Ended up with the 6OZ tank, Magnum 28 with 9X6, 270 mAh bat, High tech 85 and 225MG servos, Ultra coat over Icarex rip stop, balance point at 8.5 inches, .25 inch elevator throw, .35 inch aileron throw, and about 40% exponential.

I have a second kit to build in the next week or so, gona give it all the same treatment, except i'l find some regular weight Rip-stop covering and and maybe try the 4 ounce tank.

The fuel tube throtle link gave me a bit of trouble shutting down for landing, so i think i will try using electrical spade or bullet conectors so the pushrods can't slide around when fuel gets in the joint.


Thanks again,

Shmo
